| Sumario: | This article seeks to visualize the possibilities of agency that some women have even if they live in social limited conditions that restrict their actions and even put them in danger of suffering victimization. Based in two qualitative researchs: 1) women from slums of Buenos Aires’ outskirts (2008-2010), and 2) Centralamerican migrants sex workers in the Mexican Southern border (2011-2013), we show their capability of taking decisions, and act. This becomes visible when they show they can fight, defend other people, prevent an assault or establish a reputation in the case of women that use violence, and [28] to look for company, negotiate their services and payment, to run away from authorities and to work in the streets instead of bars, in the case of the migrants.
